Although the Greek peninsula is now occupied by Bulgaria, the 1.78 million Greeks on the island, as well as the 6.7 million Ottomans who were imprisoned by the Greeks, need to be dealt with.

After all, Ferdinand was very concerned about the international image, and it was impossible to send all the Greeks to concentration camps, but the Greeks, whose nationalism had been deeply rooted, were obviously not so easy to integrate!

It took only one infantry division to defeat the Greeks, Bulgaria captured the Greek peninsula, and now Ferdinand has sent three infantry divisions!

This was still in the negotiations, the Greeks did not yet know the purpose of Bulgaria, and they still pinned their hopes on the pressure of the great powers to force Bulgaria to withdraw from the Greek peninsula, and the popular resistance was not very fierce.

After all, as early as ten years ago, the Ottoman army used the heads of four or five hundred thousand Greeks to teach them a lesson, resistance is to die! In the last war, the hard bones were basically dead!

Not long has passed, and everyone has not forgotten the horror of the Ottoman army, so they do not dare to provoke the Bulgarian army now, for fear of attracting another killing!

Even the second-year teenagers who were active in the past have quieted down, they have also experienced that era, and they have left terrible memories in their minds as children, and now they have been induced again, and they are quietly hiding to the side and trembling!

Ferdinand knew that the Greeks were instigated, but it doesn't mean that they didn't dare to resist, but now Bulgaria has not challenged their bottom line, and the most important thing is that it has not damaged the core interests of interest groups!

But this will soon change, and when the Greeks discover Ferdinand's true intentions, they will certainly not be ruled willingly, and it will be a matter of time before they revolt!

At this time, Ferdinand was having a headache about how to deal with the Greeks, after all, the contradictions between Bulgaria and Greece could not be eased, and this hidden danger should be eliminated earlier!

"Now that the Greek Peninsula has been taken into our pockets, if nothing happens in this negotiation, all countries will acquiesce in our annexation of the Greek Peninsula, but what should the Greeks do?

What advice do you have for you to talk about? ”

War Minister Popov was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we can learn from what the Greeks did to the Ottomans before, and send them directly to the concentration camps to contribute to the construction of Bulgaria!" ”

The Minister of the Navy, Petrov, added: "Your Majesty, the development of overseas colonies now requires a large number of laborers, so it is better to send them!" ”

……

The military's suggestion made Ferdinand roll his eyes, what are you kidding, the number of Greeks is quite large, although there are only 17.8 million people on the Greek peninsula, but there are many Greek ethnic groups scattered all over the world, and if people make a fuss, Bulgaria's international image will be completely finished!

Although the great powers of this era did not have any international image, Ferdinand still paid attention to the influence, at least after leaving the Near East, Bulgaria's international image around the world was still good.

"Prime Minister, what is your opinion?" Ferdinand continued

Konstantin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Greeks are very tricky to deal with, and the best option is to send them all away, or even find a new place for them to establish a state!"

The only thing is that they cannot be left on the Greek peninsula, just look at the Serbian region ruled by Austria-Hungary, and even after the rebellion was suppressed, the situation still did not stabilize! ”

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, this was the solution he wanted, the side of the couch could not allow others to snore!

"Well, the Prime Minister is right, as long as the Greeks stay on the Greek Peninsula, then it is a hidden danger, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, it is better to get them away! Let's think about it, what is the right place for the Greeks, right? Ferdinand made his attitude clear

Since Ferdinand's previous plan was to turn the Sea of Marmara into an inland lake, he only intended to cede some islands to Greece, and did not consider dealing with the Greeks.

But then he thought about it carefully and found that it was very difficult to realize this strategy, at least the Russians did not want Bulgaria to control the Black Sea straits, and the St. Petersburg government was also very interested in this strait!

If the two countries were in charge together, then after the outbreak of World War I, the Russians would have received enough supplies from the outside world, and then the Entente would have won the war in advance, and after the war, Bulgaria would have to face directly the devastated Tsarist Russia!

Ferdinand was horrified by this terrible outcome, so he temporarily abandoned his strategy of expanding into Asia Minor and aimed instead at the Greek peninsula.

After all, for the sake of the Greek Peninsula, Ferdinand began to make diplomatic preparations more than ten years ago, and successively leveled four of the six major European powers!

During the Russo-Japanese War, Ferdinand and Edward VII engaged in insider trading on the Greek peninsula, and the two sides reached a consensus.

The Franco-Bulgarian Pact and the Anglo-Bulgarian Pact explicitly included the Greek peninsula as Bulgaria's sphere of influence, and in the earlier Pro-Russophora League, the Russians also pledged to support Bulgaria's expansion in the Balkans, including the Greek peninsula.

Just reached a deal with the Italians again, after all, Tripoli is extremely valuable to the Italians, and it is not so easy to get it!

Oh, and of course, Ferdinand didn't directly tell anyone about these deals, that Bulgaria is going to include the Greek peninsula on its mainland, and maybe people will have to think about it again!

This is the core reason why Ferdinand was in a hurry to get the Greeks away!

Anyway, as long as there are no more Greeks on the Greek Peninsula, no matter how dissatisfied the great powers are with Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek Peninsula, they can only pinch their noses and admit it!

Before that, the most important thing was to move some of the Greeks away, and then some of the Bulgarians to go in, and when the great powers found out, it also created an established fact!

It is estimated that the world war will almost break out at that time, and no one can care about this little problem of the Greek peninsula!

War Minister Popov proposed: "Your Majesty, or Libya!" The most valuable port city - Tripoli was given to the Italians, and it was totally worth exchanging a few oases from the remaining coastal areas for the Greek peninsula! ”

Admiral Petrov hurriedly objected: "No! Libya is our only overseas colony, and if we give it up like this, where will we lose face!

To settle the Greeks, we can find a way with the Ottoman Empire, and if they want to keep the peninsula of Asia Minor, how can they do it without paying the price?

Wouldn't it be better to just ask them to provide a piece of land and settle the Greeks? Anyway, the Ottoman Empire has a great cause, and there is not much land to settle such a million Greeks, so it is only a small problem for them! ”

……

Well, Ferdinand knew that the reason why the dispute was so strong was, in the final analysis, a "dispute between land and sea"!

This is unavoidable for every great power, although Bulgaria is a land power country, but its unique geographical location requires that it must have a large navy!

This is a reality that every peninsular country must face - both land and sea! It's just a different focus, and Spain, Italy and Bulgaria are all in a similar situation!

Oh, and the French can be counted too!

Considering the needs of the future strategy, Ferdinand chose to support Petrov anyway. After all, now Bulgaria's naval voice is already very low, and if they are not given a reason to develop, Bulgaria will not even have a say in the Mediterranean region in the future!

In the event of a conflict with a certain big country, everyone can directly block the waters of the Aegean Sea, then Bulgaria will not want to develop!

Anyway, this time you have to bite the Ottoman Empire, whether it is reparations or land cedes, just give the choice to the Ottoman Empire, if it really doesn't work, then consider Libya!
